My Great Dane brings all the boys to the yard.....because they're like, damn, that is the biggest dog I've ever seen! He's like a horse! Ya got a saddle for that pony! NYUK NYUK NYUK! :sigh:

Thanks :) I have Intracranial Hypertension, nothing as scary as a brain tumor but still required surgery for me.

My AMAZING neurosurgeon implanted a shunt in my brain in 2008 and didn't touch a SINGLE hair on my head! I have a candy cane shaped scar, but never lost a single strand due to brain surgery. It's not always necessary to shave the head completely bald!!!

Ha! Love it!

Every story I've read about Texans on here is constantly followed with jokes about cowboys, rednecks, gun toting maniacs, etc. Just wanted to stop it before it started.

Yes, we have the Castle Law.

First off, stop hating on Texans, we're not all rednecks practicing incest. Secondly, as a parent I totally understand his reaction. I told my husband about this story yesterday and he agreed that he would do the same thing. Screw honey badger, don't mess with Mama or Papa Bear and their kids.

Your ex girlfriend is probably referring to Toxic Shock Syndrome, which is caused by a bacterial toxin. It was a huge concern in the 80s due to the type of absorption materials manufacturers put in the tampons. There have since been warnings placed on tampons about using the correct size for your flow, as well as…

You always have the option of hemming or cuffing. We tall people do not. You cannot add fabric that is not there.

As a woman standing 5'10", I have a complaint and a compliment. My complaint is that yeah, if you're short it's hard to find pants the right length. But as a tall woman, I have had to purchase men's jeans to find them long enough, or I end up wearing high waters. Cuffing is at least an option for you; how am I…

We have a local cat only shelter called The Cattery that is cage free. They are grouped by age in three different rooms, adults, teens, and kittens. I'm great friends with the shelter director and my 9 year old son is a MAJOR cat kid. Every few weeks we drop some money in the donation box and just play with them to…

I got my Paragard IUD shortly after I had Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy. I have a 9 year old and NO desire to have more children, and have heard so many stories of newly confident and healthy women becoming pregnant after their weight loss surgery. Hell to the no. Insertion was pretty painful, and my periods are very…

They make specific polishes just for dogs - one brand is OPI Pawlish - that are non toxic and supposedly dry really fast. A shop owner I talked to says she uses it instead of regular polish for her own nails because it lasts much longer. I admit I painted my Tibetan Spaniel's nails once. It was a bitch because of all…

We ordered ours from WalMart, it was shipped to us in a box, and when we cut open the vacuum seal it whooshed into a giant marshmallow mattress. We moved that heavy bitch upstairs to our inlay's (while our new home is being built) and decided it was cheap enough to leave behind and just order a new one. My girlfriend…

Don't get me started on the Clown Car Uterus Family. I'm ecstatic that none of the Duggars are named Jacob!

Willy to me is instantly Free Willy. Wilson is a good strong name, but I also conjure up Tom Hanks and a volleyball. About three years ago my son thought Jedi would have been a cool name; he's since changed his mind and is glad I shot that one down.

Husband's family tradition is to name boys with a J, followed by Charles. I threw the Charles out and used my maiden name, since it begins with a C and I'm the last of that family name. Trying to come up with a unique J name in the fourth or fifth generation of a family is hard. Especially since most of my motivation…

I had two pet rats when my son was young. They were female and very sweet. But after a trip to the allergist, I was super grossed out to hear that rat urine droplets hang in the air. You end up breathing in rat urine. Needless to say, once my rats died I did not get more.

Don't get a large breed dog then. My Great Dane is 6 this year, we figure on maybe 2 or 3 years more :(

What handy timing! My 9 year old got two canker sores yesterday and I went to the grocery store for alum tonight. He said it stung a little but not 15 minutes after treating the first, it was almost gone. Amazing! Going to keep it on hand for when I groom my doogles' too. Thank you for such helpful advice!
